What are Cookies? The cookie is a small file, consisting of letters and numbers, which will be stored on the computer, mobile terminal or other equipment of a user from which the Internet is accessed. The cookie is installed by the request sent to a web server of a browser (eg: Internet Explorer, Chrome) and is completely “passive” (that is, it does not contain software programs, viruses or spyware and cannot access the information on the user’s hard drive) .

What are cookies used for? These files make it possible to recognize the user’s terminal and present the content in a relevant way, adapted to the user’s preferences. Cookies provide users with a pleasant browsing experience. They are also used in the preparation of aggregated anonymous statistics that help understand how a user benefits from our web pages, allowing us to improve their structure and content, without the user’s identity being disclosed.

What Cookies do we use? We use two types of Cookies: per session and fixed. Session cookies are temporary files that remain in the user’s terminal until the end of the session or the closing of the application. Fixed cookies remain on the user’s terminal for a period in the Cookie parameters or until they are manually deleted by the user.

How are cookies used by this site? A visit to this site may place cookies for the purposes of:

Do cookies contain personal data?

Cookies never ask the user for personal information in order to be used and do not identify Internet users.

The personal data collected through the use of Cookies can only be collected to facilitate certain functionalities also addressed to the user. The data are encrypted, which means that unauthorized personnel do not have access to them.

Deleting Cookies

Cookies are saved by default on the user’s terminal when an application is accessed. These settings can be changed so that the automatic administration of Cookies is blocked by the web browser or the user is informed every time Cookies are sent to his terminal.

Detailed information about the possibilities and ways of managing Cookies can be found in the settings area of the application (web browser). If you want to limit the use of cookies, there is a possibility that certain functionalities of the web page will be affected.

Why are cookies important for the Internet? Cookies are known to be the central points of the efficient functioning of the Internet. They help generate a friendly browsing experience adapted to the preferences and interests of each user. Rejecting or deactivating cookies does not mean that you will no longer receive online advertising – but only that it will no longer be able to take into account your highlighted preferences and interests through browsing behavior. Examples of important uses of cookies (which do not require the authentication of a user through an account):

Content and services adapted to user preferences – categories of products and services.

Offers adapted to the interests of users – retention of passwords.

Retention of child protection filters regarding Internet content (family mode options, safe search functions).

Limiting the frequency of advertising broadcasts – limiting the number of times an advertisement is displayed for a certain user on a site.

Providing more relevant advertising to the user.

Measurement, optimization and analytics features – such as confirming a certain level of traffic on a website, what type of content is viewed and how a user arrives at a website (eg through search engines, directly, from other websites etc). The websites carry out these analyzes of their use in order to improve the sites for the benefit of the users.

Security and privacy issues

Cookies use plain text formats. They are not made up of pieces of code, so they cannot be executed or auto-run. Consequently, they cannot be duplicated or replicated on other networks to run or replicate again. Since they cannot perform these functions, they cannot be considered viruses.
Cookies can still be used for negative purposes. Because they store information about the preferences and browsing history of users, both on a specific site and on several other sites, cookies can be used as a form of Spyware. Many anti-spyware products are aware of this fact and constantly mark cookies to be deleted during anti-virus/anti-spyware deletion/scanning procedures.

In general, browsers have integrated privacy settings that provide different levels of cookie acceptance, validity period and automatic deletion after the user has visited a certain site.

Other security aspects related to cookies:

Since identity protection is very valuable and represents the right of every internet user, it is advisable to know what possible problems cookies can create. Because through them, information is constantly transmitted in both directions between the browser and the website, if an attacker or unauthorized person intervenes during data transmission, the information contained in the cookie can be intercepted.
Although very rare, this can happen if the browser connects to the server using an unencrypted network (ex: an unsecured WiFi network).

Other cookie-based attacks involve missetting cookies on servers. If a website does not require the browser to use only encrypted channels, attackers can use this vulnerability to trick browsers into sending information through unsecured channels. The attackers then use the information to gain unauthorized access to certain websites. It is very important to be careful in choosing the most suitable method of personal information protection.
